This video delves into the Remington Model 1890, a single-action revolver that attempted to challenge Colt's Single Action Army dominance. Following Remington's 1886 insolvency, the company, under new leadership, launched the Model 1890 in 1890. It was essentially a revamped Model 1875, designed to mimic the appearance of the Colt SAA. Available in .44-40 with 5 3/4" or 7 1/2" barrel options, the revolver proved to be a commercial failure, with only 2,020 units produced between 1891 and 1894. The market had shifted towards double-action firearms, and consumers preferring a classic single-action design opted for the established Colt.
